@relationshipswithaly: If you are the friend who almost always initiates plans, who is the first one to reach out, who feels like the last to be invited, I just want to acknowledge that that feeling sucks. There is real grief there. People might say “it’s all in your head, that’s not true!” and they mean well, but that can feel really invalidating if actually you really are in that position of being the forgotten friend. AND, I want you to know that it doesn’t mean you should stop. It doesn’t mean that people don’t really appreciate it when you reach out. It doesn’t mean that people don’t enjoy spending time with you when you organize plans. It doesn’t mean that you are unloved or that you’re forgotten. It hurts, but it is not a sign that you are unworthy of friendship and love. Keep reaching out to the people who fill your cup. Keep inviting if it makes you happy to spend time with them. BUT if someone continually ignores you or treats your badly, then it’s time to put less thought and effort into that friendship. Have you been in this position and how did it feel?
